Indian School of Business ranked 20th among top B-schools globally

India's noted management education capability has got another name to contend with -- Indian School of Business, a Hyderabad-based business school that has been ranked among the top 20 such institutions by Financial Times, London.

ISB is the first business school from India to have found a place in the FT rankings. None from the premier Indian B-schools from the Indian Institute of Management stable has ever made it to this list, which has ranked ISB as 20th best globally.

"While the average student experience at ISB is 5 years, the IIMs have students with a lesser experience, as such, the two are non-comparable," ISB Dean M Rammohan Rao said in a statement.

"We wish to see many more Indian B-schools follow the trend and reach where we are today, or even ahead of us," he added.

ISB has affiliations with three of the world's renowed business schools - Kellogg School of Management, The Wharton School and London Business School, and 5 per cent of its total student intake consists of international students.

 


Experts agreed that management education in India has come a long way since where it was a decade back and the future seems promising.

"We are proud to have played a part in positioning India on the global map of business education. The FT ranking raises the bar even higher for ISB, and we are equipped to meet future expectations," ISB Deputy Dean Ajit Rangnekar said.

The FT ranking was calculated on the basis of 20 criteria covering specifics like career progress of graduates, diversity of MBA experience, international mobility of alumni, ideas generation and research.

Ruling Akali Dal-BJP combine faces  anti-incumbency  in Punjab  As Punjab heads into assembly polls next Monday,the Congress could have an edge as the ruling Akali Dal-BJP coalition  grapples with  a serious anti-incumbency mood in the state.Several factors have contributed to the changed political scenario.To begin with,electoral equations that had brought the ruling coalition to power in 2007 have altered since. Of the many anxieties  plaguing  the ruling coalition, primary has been the damage potential of former finance minister and rebel   Manpreet Badals  fledgling  Peoples Party of Punjab. Adding to worries is the  precarious  state of the BJP, racked by corruption charges and  rabid   factionalism .The BJP had done exceptionally well among Hindu voters in the Malwa region during the last polls.That's a feat its unlikely to repeat this time. Hoping to cash in on the party's  waning  populari...

How much you will charge to laugh?

Sonal Kalra, HT City, DDun My deepest sympathies to the family and friends of those who are always `dead' serious I give you three seconds to recall the last time you laughed out loud. One...two...three, done. All those who remembered the last `LOL' they'd casually typed while chatting on Facebook can take turns to slap each other. And the others, who at least tried to recall their real laughter but could not, listen to me. Kya, problem kya hai? Do people, who have to bear you every day of their lives, not deserve to sometimes see the twinkle in your eyes or the teeth that you claim to religiously brush every morning? Kya aapke toothpaste mein namak hai? Then what is the matter, people? Yesterday I observed this man at a friend's get-together. He was there to attend a party, but his face bore an expression as if the host had put a gun to his head and dragged him there. Someone told a joke, everyone laughed, even those who had heard it before. But this one's e...

Insatiable growth appetite of India Inc

Sunil Mittal After four years of high GDP growth, even a diehard optimist would be sceptical as to whether the economy would will be able to turn in similar numbers again next year. Given the fact that the present buoyancy is based on reasonably sound economic fundamentals, I have reasons to believe that the momentum is here to stay. My optimism is, of course, based as much on the fundamentals of the economy as my inherent faith in the growth appetite of India Inc. As per the Mid-Year Review tabled in the Parliament in December, the economy has grown by 9.1% in the first half of 2007-08. But more than the robust growth figures, what actually strengthens my faith in the economy’s ability to sustain growth is the fact that inflation has eased below 4% after more than a year. This surely augurs well for the economy in the coming days. I believe, like last year, industry and services will continue to be the primary drivers of growth. In telecom, we are quite bullish about another robust ye...
